A Work of Fiction 2026

Directed by Alisha Masurkar

During a therapy session, a woman describes her fantasies and the meaning of love and desire. As these fantasies deepen, guilt, shame, and buried trauma resurface. As her therapist is revealed as her vision of ‘ideal beauty’- embodies the freedom she craves. Caught between her desired self and her inescapable past, she must confront the memories she’d rather escape.
